1/2 pint water, cold
1/2 cup suet, chopped
2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 cup molasses
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Put the milk on to boil, wet the corn meal with the cold water, and as soon as it boils stir in the corn meal, salt and suet, boil 15 minutes stirring all the time. Chop the suet very fine, taking all the skin off. Take it off of the heat, put it in 1/2 cup of cold milk, the sugar, molasses - stir the baking soda into the molasses - add the spices, beat the yolks well and beat in the stiffly beaten egg whites.

Butter a 2 quart pan and immediately bake at 350°F for over one hour. When done there will be whey in the center. Let cool a little and serve with cream.
